So “Grimm” is back, but so far we haven’t been advancing the story with Adalind’s pregnancy or Renard’s cousin and family much. Renard has teamed up with some other rebel vesson to try and take down his royal family members, but we don’t know their plan and we don’t even know whose baby Adalind is carrying. We do know it has two heartbeats, but isn’t twins. Interesting! I wonder if they’ll come up with a wacky story that it’s both the brother’s kid somehow? Hey, we aren’t dealing with humans after all.

Juliette has become quiet the butt kicker as of late, and an old friend of hers has moved into town. I guess the show decided she needed a BFF or something? Her friend just happens to be a fouxbaux just like Rosalee. I don’t know if they plan to take this storyline with this new girl any further than they have in the past two episodes with her leaving her abusive husband.

The show tried to set up a romance for Hank, with a vesson of course, but it seems to have fizzled for now. Meanwhile Nick’s symptoms from the zombie voodoo experience keep manifesting and getting more and more odd. He doesn’t sweat, his heartbeat is out of whack, and now he has amazing hearing. He definitely has super human powers of some kind. Is he turning into a vesson?

Upcoming episodes finally have Adalind giving birth, Rosalee’s mom coming to town, Monroe’s parents turning up, and it looks like we may see the return of Nick’s mom soon enough. Now I’m thinking we just need to meet Renard’s mother!

Spoilers for the next two episodes . . . .
